That’s a wrap for this year’s Ultimate Money Challenge. In 2017, we asked you to negotiate, kick your spending weakness, and clean out your closets for cash, just to name a few. Some of you paid off your credit card debt and even started saving for retirement. Nice work! It’s time to recap our final challenge of the year. If you joined, tell us how it went.

In December, we asked you to gift yourself with savings. In other words, for every dollar you spend on gifts this year, you were to save a dollar for your own financial goals. The goal was to encourage yourself to be more conscious of your spending and save a little extra to end the year on a financial high note.
